American Illustration Profiles Interview: Martha Rich

Martha Rich is an illustrator and artist whose work is a delightful and exuberant explosion of color, styles, and techniques. She creates art and illustration for a wide-range of formats, including product design, fine art, T-shirts, animation, book covers, editorial illustration, and an ongoing series of engaging personal projects. Rich has also created the 100 for $100 project, making 100 paintings and selling them for $100 each—she describes the work as “humorous and absurd and affordable.” With a vibrant and extensive social media presence and a seemingly never-ending ability to find new ways to showcase her work, Rich is a textbook example of multi-faceted, forward-thinking visual creator. Rich will be part of a group show called Raised by Foxes, at the FOE Gallery in Northampton, Massachusetts, opening September 11. Also in the show are Katherine Streeter, Gina Triplett, and Matt Curtius.
